This is REALLY, REALLY long, so if you are a slow reader like me, get ready for a long read. Regardless, this is a really cool story that seems to have ended up reasonably well.

I know everyone on the forums likes a good story about thieves being caught, well, this isn't an ATV recovery, but it is at least one good story about recovered stolen property!

 

Great story. Shame it takes that much effort to right a wrong.

 

Interesting Story, good ending, but long, long, long. Maybee you should summarize it Blackhawk.

 

Long story .... Thanks hope a few can learn from this [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Quick summary. . .

Someone loses phone in cab
Younger person without ethics finds it and proceeds to use it.
Person who lost it purchases new phone and through technology . . . bla bla bla gets info on person with the now lost phone and is now able to track them down.
Friend of person that lost phone creates website and tracks all the above and day to day updates
Lies
More Lies
threats
more threats
Chick with the now stolen phone gets picked up from the cops
Ha Ha (what's that character on the Simpson's that does that so well?)
Now recovered phone on e-bay for auction to benefit single moms ('cause that's what the low-life was that took the phone.)
Lot's of media hype and exposure.

Suckers got theirs!

Crime don't pay.

Carma can suck if you're on the wrong side of it.
